My warmest congratulations to @CecileRichards and Planned Parenthood on its hundredth anniversary. Here's to another #100YearsStrong!




Today, October 16, marks the 100th anniversary of Planned Parenthood's founding. To celebrate, celebrities and politicians are using the hashtag #100YearsStrong to express their support for the organization.

With Planned Parenthood's funding under attack, many have been sharing why its continued existence is important to them.

"I think that what makes the organization so incredibly powerful is that we are a healthcare provider and educator for millions of people every year, not only in the U.S., but around the globe, and we are best in class when it comes to reproductive health care," Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, told Broadly. "On the other side, we are a movement, which is not about politics, but about organizing and advocating to change the world."

People from all walks of life had powerful things to say about the impact of Planned Parenthood.

President Obama wrote that Planned Parenthood "made it possible for women to determine their own lives." Julianne Moore retweeted him.

about the out-of-control breeding that will eventually kill our world if we don't take some personal responsibility to limit our family size. Not many organizations are willing to stand up and say that we can all have better lives if we use birth control. May the gods bless PP and help them to spread their services to all corners of the world.
